We had a scheduling miscommunication. I called in to get it fixed. Nicole went out of her way to make it work! Greatly appreciate her willingness to correct the situation!

Everyone was mask compliant which made me very comfortable going to my appointment. I’m hearing impaired and the staff was so gracious , they went over and above in their efforts to make sure We were communicating well. My husband was also pleased with his office visit and recommended them to me.

Lovely staff. Exam is so easy going. Relaxing & pleasant experience. I’m new to glasses so i had no idea what to choose. Never worry, the associates always have the right answers to guide you into the right direction.

It’s a great place to go! The staff is caring, courteous and interested in you as a person. Same with the doctors. And can’t say enough about technicians — they have done an amazing job finding frames that fit my face, my personality and that I love to wear! I recommend this place to my friends.

Very professional and knowledgeable staff. Very good with kids too!

I have followed with Dr Jeremy Anderson for over 10 years now. Upon a new visit with him, it was discovered I have a nevus behind one of my eyes (nothing to be concerned about, thankfully). With the advanced technology Eye Associates has, I know nothing will be missed.

Renee S.

A few months ago, I saw Dr. Jeremy Anderson for an eye exam. Let’s just say, I cannot believe the improvement my new glasses have made for me! My family and I have used Eye Associates for years, and are very pleased with their expertise, customer service, and friendliness. They’ve been very helpful when problems have arisen (such as when frames or lenses were damaged and were replaced for free due to warranty). I fully trust them with my and my family’s eye care.

Alicia F.

Just had my first visit at Eye Associates, who were recommended by a friend. All of the staff were wonderful, from checkin through checkout. Very nice, clean and modern facility with great service. Dr. Melissa Hoven was professional and informative, yet causal and friendly enough to make it the most comfortable eye exam I have had.
